Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

2. Our opening assumptions
•
•
Professionalization is communication.
•
Your value as an academic is more than merely
your finished articles or dissertation.
•
Scholarship is cyclical, not linear.
Learning to be social is a skill in itself -- and a
process, rather than something that happens
instantly.
4. How and why do academics
interact?
What are the results of those
interactions?
Which interactions result in
productive conversations?
5. Most social media platforms
are made to encourage
sharing and/or conversing.
6. Sharing platforms
•
Encourage you to upload durable and sizable
content
•
Provide infrastructure that encourages you to
organize content in specific/customizable ways; and
develop individual aesthetic design preferences
•
Allow others to navigate freely through present
and past content as it accumulates
7. Conversing platforms
• Encourage you to upload smaller, transient
content
• Provide infrastructure to help you interact,
rather than organize
• Focus on the present, and allow limited
views of past content, especially to anyone
other than you
9. Sharing platforms feel more
similar to traditional academic
publishing structures, but require
greater commitments and more
skill.
10. Conversing platforms are
dissimilar to traditional academic
publishing structures; but are
more conducive to
experimenting, and learning
online communication
techniques.
11. While both sharing and
conversing platforms are useful,
you need to be skilled in
conversing platforms in order to
use sharing platforms to the
greatest effect.
12. Why start with Twitter?
•
•
•
•
•
•
It’s free!
It’s flexible, but technologically simple to use.
It comes with a large, curious, and supportive community.
It provides you with a rehearsal space.
It allows you to control information overload easily.
It’s popular enough that junior and senior academics from a
wide range of disciplines use it, and are accessible through it.
13. What do you do when you tweet?
•
•
Report on what you see, hear, or read
•
•
•
•
Describe what you’re working on
Ask questions (to specific people, or as part of
thinking out loud)
Experiment with different ways of phrasing ideas
Agree, and disagree
Share content that you think other people should
be aware of
14. What are you doing when you’re on
Twitter?
•
•
•
•
Discover what other people are learning and doing
•
•
Support peers and colleagues by showing interest in their work
•
Learn through dialogue and interaction
See academic and public contexts side by side
Watch projects and ideas evolve through conversation
Find out about processes and practices at other institutions
(academic and non-academic)
Find content through your contacts (rather than through search
engines)
16. Imagine that you enter a parlor.You come late. When you arrive,
others have long preceded you, and they are engaged in a heated
discussion, a discussion too heated for them to pause and tell you
exactly what it is about. In fact, the discussion had already begun
long before any of them got there, so that no one present is
qualified to retrace for you all the steps that had gone before.You
listen for a while, until you decide that you have caught the tenor
of the argument; then you put in your oar. Someone answers; you
answer him; another comes to your defense; another aligns himself
against you, to either the embarrassment or gratification of your
opponent, depending upon the quality of your ally's assistance.
However, the discussion is interminable. The hour grows late, you
must depart. And you do depart, with the discussion still vigorously
in progress.
--Kenneth Burke, The Philosophy of Literary Form, 1941
22. What are academics discussing?
Academic labor
Accessibility
The Role of the Humanities
Race & Social Justice
Contingencies & Budgets
Comparative Pedagogies
Privilege
23. Are academics hacking social media?
•
•
Hacker: n.
•
7.One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of
creatively overcoming or circumventing limitations.
1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of
programmable systems and how to stretch their
capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to
learn only the minimum necessary.
•
--The Jargon File, http://www.jargondb.org
24. Are academics hacking social media?
• How do you measure the value of social
media?
• Commercial: through quantitative metrics,
i.e., number of followers, site visits, etc.
• Academic: through qualitative results, i.e.,
confidence and experience gained, contacts
made
35. •
Ingredients for social media
participation with people with
Academic interests that connect you
similar interests
•
•
Desire to engage with people you don’t know
•
Awareness, which allows you to choose how you’re
using various tools
Varied interests and playfulness, which allow more than
academic interactions
36. You can also...
• Talk through your dissertation chapter
• Discuss and see the success/failure/impact
of your projects
• Misunderstand, clarify, and iterate
• Conduct/listen to public/semi-public forums
on issues relating to academia
37. Building your own Twitter topic list
What are you working on currently?What would you like to work on
in the future?What’s the last thing that you read and enjoyed? What did you
like about it?What’s a non-academic thing that has a connection with your
academic interests?What would you like to know about using social media?
What topics/activities could you help people understand? (academic or nonacademic)What would you put on your Twitter profile page?What’s the
most valuable advice you’ve been given recently?What’s a photo you took
recently?
38. Basic Twitter Toolbox
•
Twitter’s List function: for filtering different types of
content
•
HootSuite, TweetDeck: account management
platforms for reading and managing multiple feeds
•
•
Storify: for archiving tweets and conversations
Tweet-a-friend: ask Twitter!
39. Ways to keep tweeting
• Reading a Twitter list, or feed
• Live-tweeting events
• Participating in weekly chats #fycchat,
#prodchat, etc.
• Schedule Twitter time: 1 hour per day? 3
hours per week?
40. Considering other social media
platforms?
•
Read and explore them first, in order to get a
sense of the culture of participation.
•
Investigate your options for exporting/backing up
your content.
•
Think about how your audience will find you, and
what sort of commitment the platform requires of
them.
•
Consider integrating with Twitter in order to
promote and discuss your project.
